Worst blind date ever???

I was in college and a girlfriend wanted to set me up with her boyfriend's roommate. I was told he was very artistic and liked to paint and dance. That piqued my interest. We were all supposed to get together over his apartment to watch a football game. I figured there would be a lot of people there so if we didn't hit it off, at least I might have other people to talk to. When I got there, the only other people was my friend and her boyfriend. We sat down to watch the game and this dude...I don't even remember his name...laid his head in my lap!!!!! I immediately made him get off me and when he sat up, there was a stain on my pants. He had a Jheri curl and his curl activator left a big circle on my pants (which, incidentally, weren't even mine....I'd borrowed them from my BFF)!!!!! I tried to get over that and asked him to show me some of his art. Do you know that the art he showed me was work I'd seen done by other artists I knew? He tried to pass it off as his own. I was insulted by his forwardness and his presumption that I didn't know anything about art. I was ticked off about the pants, too.

haha This is hilarious! I would have been super upset about the pants

Wow, if nothing else, you all are giving me more confidence in asking women out. I know I can do better than those guys!
Love the possum one!

First of all, my worst blind date had an awkward set-up! My church's bass player who I've known since I was 14 asked me on Easter Day if I was single (which at the time I was), and what I was majoring in. I told him "Biology" to which he said "PERFECT! YOU AND MY SON WILL GO GREAT TOGETHER!" That was red flag number one. He then proceeded to show me pictures of his son about two weeks later ...red flag number two. Not too long afterward, he gives me his son's phone number and tells me to call him and that when we go out to put the "moves" on him...red flag number THREE. Instead of taking up all of these red flags, I felt that I should at least do him the favor and go out on a date with his Aerospace Engineering major son. He arrived at my house wearing... I don't even know what...with a dry afro...and squeaky Nikes. He was disturbingly quiet the entire date. I'm the kind of girl that is good about making others laugh and cracking a smile out of people - this dude was a ROBOT. At the end of the date, I told him I liked philosophy (because we had talked about nothing really beyond NASA...) and he said flatly, "I hate philosophy". END OF DATE. I went inside my house and said "Mom, he might have had a cute face, but he was a robot."

There are rules for blind dates. Never tell her what your plans are( Its a surprise, you are now mysterious). You always make 2 reservations. one at a nice place and another at a crappy place. When you meet for the first time you can just tell if you two will hit it off. If you feel it go to the nice place and if your not feeling on her, cause she wont let you....... hello micky d's.

UM, let me guess, you would not be my type...treat others as you would like them to treat you...ever hear of that one...that is just plain rude.

Micky D for you!!

I dated a younger French guy who wanted me to pretend to be a doctor and he a patient! On a first (and last) date!

I think that's a fun sense of humor he may have had.

my friend was having a party and set me up with this guy there or try to anyhow..the guy got so drunk that he past out on the couch and he peed his pants..when we try to wake him up he puked on my shoes..ewwwwww

I can't remember how we got set up, but it was a disaster on both sides. We planned to go to a hockey game. She turned out to be a smoker who loved talking about knives. I turned out to be really bored by hockey, and literally fell asleep on the bleachers. At some point, the date mercifully ended.

my story is kind of long..

when i was a senior in hs, i started talking to this kid online.. he went to school with one of my best friends in another town. she gave us the go ahead, so he asked me out. we had plans to meet on like a saturday or something (i remember bc it was during the day for lunch so it had to be a weekend). well i had to work the night before, and since he and i had been talking a long time, i had told him where i work and that i was working that night. (i was a coat check girl/busser at a golf club and that night i was specifically just coat checking). well, he ends up SHOWING UP AT MY WORK. it was so awkward and we just had this awkward conversation for the first time in person while i'm sitting in the coat check room. my boss saw him and said hi so when he walked away, i told the kid (i think his name was george) that he should leave so i don't get in trouble. he left and then my boss yelled at me and told me i shouldnt be having friends come while i was working.. so i was like, um i didn't know he was coming we had a blind date scheduled for tomorrow! hahaha

so then, the next day is our scheduled date and i do NOT want to go. his personality in person was very unappealing to me. Online he seemed nice and confident, in person he was cocky and spoke down to me. my mom told me i should go just for the free lunch (haha!) so i did. he wanted to pick me up at my house but i lied and said i had to go somewhere after. i met him at the restaurant and we had very awkward conversation and i just was realizing more and more i did not like him and did not find his personality attractive to me. he kept talking down to me and kept bragging about his life, wouldn't ask about my life, and then told me he had lost his virignity to a prostitute. What.

so the date is over and he's walking me to my car and he's like, i got something for you. and pulls out two HUGE stuffed animals.. bc i had mentioned once that i liked stuffed animals and when boyfriends buy them for you. but this was only our first (and only!!!!) date.. i thought that was super weird. but whatever, i accepted them. then i went to say goodbye and he tried to kiss me and i just did the whole oh, awkward hug goodbye bc i knew this would never work out so i knew a kiss was not in our future. he acted super disappointed and left.

later that night, we were both on aim and he asked me out again. i told him i was not interested but i was sorry and he was a really great guy, i just didn't feel any chemistry (i lied. he was not a great guy). he got really heated and was like "BUT WHY DON'T YOU LIKE ME" and i tried to nicely explain i just wasn't feeling it and he's like, well just tell me what you dont like about me. so to get him to go away, i told him! i told him how he only talked about himself, talked down to me, he seemed very arrogant and just not my type. well he FLIPPED OUT and told me "there are some things about you i don't like" and I was like, okay then tell me and he told me i have to shape my eyebrows better and lose 20pounds.. he said he usually doesn't date girls as fat as me but would make an exception for me since i was pretty.. just fix the eyebrows. at this point in my life, i was only 135 pounds at 5'6".

WHAT A JERK. We stopped talking and like 3 more times he just randomly IM'ed me and would talk **** on me for like an hour until i blocked him.
UGH WHAT A JERK

first and LAST blind date!!! haha

We sat down to watch the game and this dude...I don't even remember his name...laid his head in my lap!!!!! I immediately made him get off me and when he sat up, there was a stain on my pants. He had a Jheri curl and his curl activator left a big circle on my pants

I'm gonna pee!!!!!

this is actually brilliant...for the next guy who wants to go out but is too indecisive and says i get to pick...this will be in the back of my mind.

Absolutely brilliant

My worst blind date was, my best friend at the time, setting me up with her boyfriend's best friend. The fool had recently split up with a long term girlfriend. The evening basically involved me being paraded around as arm candy, to several locations where he knew that she and her friends would be. As I am sure he anticipated, this pissed her off considerably. She and some friends followed us at close proximity in her car for several city blocks. The big finish came when she finally gave up on this silliness and he thought it would be cool to park his car someplace secluded, assuming I would be turned on by the excitement of the night, and want to "get with him." Low and behold, the crazy ex-girlfreind came out of nowhere and proceeded to call me several colorful words like only a real Bronx NY girl can.

Luckily for me, my friend and her boyfriend arrived on the scene and got me the hell out of there. About 6 months later I found out that not only were the two lunatics back together . . . she was having his baby. If nothing else, at least the evening was not dull!

Can't say it was the WORST blind date, but I MARRIED my only blind date...32 years ago next month

Ditto - 15 years last month. Found out we knew each other as children too... my mom and aunt and then my uncle on my dad's side used to hang out with his uncle. Small towns.

That's sort of how my mum and dad got together. Mum's mum used to work for dad's dad and they all went off for a holiday weekend together with some other friends. Mum & Dad were just a couple of months shy of their 15th birthdays.. which were only 2 days apart!

Sadly we lost mum last year a month before her 79th birthday and next year would have been their 60th wedding anniversary.

In the years before the internet, when I lived in the Netherlands, I used to use personal ads.

One time I arranged to meet this English lad who lived in The Hague. He came down to Rottedam to meet me and he spent the WHOLE time moaning about the Dutch and how he hated living in the Netherlands and it go so bad he actually gave me a migraine :explode:

Well I put up with it for a couple of hours, goodness knows why and in the end I just was up front and said that we just hadn't clicked and his parting words were, "well I suppose a shag is out of the question?" :noway:

At which point I turned and walked away and left him. :laugh:
